Totally agree - perhaps we will see a move back towards this kind of approach. I certainly hope so.

We don't have room in our squad / belief in young players to keep us at our level. Young players need games to progress, without it that 1 in 4 may be 1 in 12 and it becomes less attractive.
We need to either start hammering teams in order to bring in youth or start trusting fringe players again in order to follow this policy. Otherwise we will have a roster full of KWP / Onomah's
It's seems to be his eagerness to impress that gets the better of him. He'll be more relaxed with age and has all the tools to push on to be an outstanding asset.
Well we kind of have done mate eh? Those two I mentioned as an example?
I hope so, not every player / prospect gets that with age, the Stones / Rio example is apt as it was said about both.
I see a real player there.
Thank you Daniel taking time out from trying to recruit top quality talent to join us on the forum today we do appreciate it.
Even in the 90's we had big money failures. Chris Armstrong cost 5 mill which at the time was a lot of money when you consider Arse signed Bergkamp for 7 mill.
Les Ferdinand 6 mill wasted. Rebrov 11 mill down the drain. Ramon Vega was 6 mill pissed up the wall
Ginola and Klinsmann cost 2 mill each iirc. Bargains

Agreed, Sanchez I would sign again for £40mill without hesitation, he's good already and could be world-class.
I think Clarke is 100% on the money in terms of what I'm describing, Sessegnon could be north of £30million, which means there's more risk. But you're right, they're much more inline with the kind of players we should sign, I just think we should've been signing two players at £10-20mill every year as an ongoing strategy, never not doing it... we'd create some great players and Daniel would get his profit.
Totally agree there, a real player. Here's hoping we give him the patience and opportunity to witness his uprising. Toby and Jan's (80s sitcom?) situation will help with that.
I never said I wanted us to "Spend all the money" we haven't signed a player in 18 MONTHS until today, the only club in Europe not to sign a player in that time and our manager has outright said we need to change our policy numerous times, the very same manager that has brought us all this success so far because before him we were nowhere near as good as we are now (other than when Redknapp was in charge who doesn't have a thing on what Poch has accomplished considering it's a tougher league now.)
The only thing I care about is us being the best club in the world, anything else is irrelevant to me, that's the honest truth at this juncture and I don't understand why anybody would care about doing things "the right way" in this day and age where football is full of corruption and bullshit and yes, that includes our club despite us somehow thinking we are above it all when we just spent over a billion on a stadium, we are hardly the poor underdogs of the league.
The manager isn't happy with our current model mate, that's the whole point, he has said numerous times we need to operate differently, I have even seen certain posters (who I now have on ignore) say that if Poch doesn't like it then he can leave, I find it utterly ludicrous that people would rather us save money and balance the books and worry more about us taking a short term financial hit than back the best manager we have had in our lifetime or probably ever will have because make no mistake, if things stay as they are it won't be long before he walks mate.
Yay it's back. One of the best forum features of the summer.

You're welcome my child. Now I'm off to polish me nut and to return some video tapes.
Yes!!!! I’ve missed these
I know what you mean mate. It doesn't always work out but is less of an issue in moving them on.
:clintonohshit:
Current model? Surely you only know what the current model is at the end of the window. Let the club get on with it and stop worrying about business
Jack Clarke is a good prospect for the future, I wonder if we will loan him back to Leeds for the season or if Poch will do a Dele with him?
When I say current model I mean the model we have operated under so far to this point, let's not be pedantic mate, the model, or "project" that Poch wishes to change in order for us to progress further.
Good old Clinton. Great signing.
If you think Foyth is shit then you are diametrically opposed to Poch and the Argentinian national coaching staff
